I am so excited to share the rest of Mila's session with you all! For those who missed her sneak preview the other night, you can see it here.I first met Mila's mom, Paige, when she responded to my post on our town's FaceBook page looking for a model for boutique photography. It turned out we had a friend in common. I'm so happy to have met them; not only is Mila gorgeous, but she's a tough cookie with three older brothers. You probably won't believe me but she was actually sick when we did this shoot - Mila is just all smiles, all the time.

Tonight I had the ultimate pleasure of photographing Mila for her big FIRST birthday (which is tomorrow! or, I guess technically today. Happy birthday, Mila!) I'm not even 1/4 of the way editing but I wanted to share a sneak preview of the beautiful birthday girl :)

We did her session at Morven Park in Leesburg, VA. I don't want to ruin the surprise but we ended with the most epic cake smash ever ;) More on that when I'm done editing and ready to share the rest of my favorites!

In the meantime, is Instagram cropping up (pun intended) in anyone else's photography, outside of the app? I am unapologetically obsessed with square cropping, thanks to IG. And I must say, quite impressed with the performance of my Tamron 17-50 on this image.

On Friday morning I was treated to a delicious, last minute photo session with mini cupcakes by Ciste Gras Cakes in Leesburg. If you don't know Meg, you definitely should - I shot her cake pops a few months back and they were the most tasty things ever, and her cupcakes were no different.
